[PATCH] officially deprecate register_ioctl32_conversion

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Thu Mar 31 2005 - 14:45:21 EST


These have been deprecated since ->compat_ioctl when in, thus only a
short deprecation period. There's four users left: i2o_config,
s390/z90crypy, s390/dasd and s390/zfcp and for the first two patches
are about to be submitted to get rid of it.
